The customer requested the old patio to be lifted and replaced with a new one and extending it across the old garage slab base and incorporating new steps down to the lower garden and access to the rear doors of the house.Coto black slabs in various sizes were used.

The old slabs were lifted and utilised as hardcore in the new steps; a dwarf wall was built to lift the patio levels to the correct height and hardcore sub-base was brought in and compacted.

The slabs were then laid in a random pattern on a wet sand and cement mix and pointed with a stronger mix.

The steps were then built using matching slabs to top them.Crushed slate was added to the border,the patio was then cleaned and jetwashed to give the finished effect.

The customer had a few slabs laid when the conservatory was built which suited the needs at the time, but was small and didn’t meet their full requirements.
The old slabs were lifted and the grassed area dug out.

As the height of the garden was higher than the patio, decorative concrete edgings were laid to hold back the soil and give a nice finish. Sub-base hardcore was brought in and compacted and indian sandstone in various sizes was laid on a wet sand and cement base.

The slabs were cut around the drains (after the largest drain was lowered to the height of the patio) and cut around the plants to the side. Gravel was laid in the gap between the end of the patio and the decorative edging to form a drainage channel for the rainwater.

Two steps were then built in red engineering bricks topped with indian sandstone slabs. The patio was then pointed with a stronger sand and cement mix and cleaned off to complete the look .

The customer had and old patio that they weren’t happy with and wanted a new one laid which was slightly larger and rounded off around the plants at the front.
The old patio was lifted, the excess turf and soil removed and sub-base hardcore brought in and compacted.
Vintage stone raven slabs were then laid on a wet sand and cement mix in a random pattern with a built in curve to the front left of the patio. The joints were then pointed with a stronger sand and cement mix and a step built with matching slabs to complete the patio.
The rockery was built using quality topsoil and rocks sourced from local nurseries
